CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Glenn Robinson's slicing dunk with 4.3
seconds left snapped a tie and lifted the Milwaukee Bucks to a
90-88 victory over the reeling Chicago Bulls.

After Chicago guard Brent Barry made two free throws with 44
seconds left to knot it, the teams traded empty possessions.
With the game clock winding down, Milwaukee point guard Terrell
Brandon looked to penetrate from the right wing but instead
found a streaking Robinson for the decisive bucket.

"We ran a pick-and-roll with Terrell and I on one end and Ray
Allen and Vinny Del Negro on the opposite end. We were just
looking for the open man. I just happened to be the open man.

Robinson was surprised to be so open.

"My eyes probably got bugged," he said. "But that was only
because Randy Brown fell on the play. I was just in a good
position."

It was Robinson's second game-winning basket in a week. On
February 16, he made a 15-footer to give Milwaukee a 93-92 win
at Philadelphia.

"On that last play, we got caught up in a high screen roll,"
explained Bulls coach Tim Floyd. "Randy went to the floor, got
knocked down, and Toni (Kukoc) had to help out because Brandon
is one of the better players in the league off the screen roll.
That left Robinson with a clean lane to the basket."

Robinson finished with 24 points and Allen and Dell Curry added
16 apiece for the Bucks, who defeated the Bulls for the second
time this season after losing 11 in a row dating to the 1994-95
season finale.

"I think so much of this season is compacted together," said
Bucks coach George Karl. "Staying away from the negative is
important. You get a negative flow or a negative feel, a
negative losing streak. ... You have to do it by winning games."

Ron Harper's last-chance finger roll was off the mark as the
Bulls fell to 2-9 overall and 0-5 at home. Toni Kukoc scored 19
points and Mark Bryant 16 for the Bulls, who were 37-4 at home
last season.

Chicago shot 56 percent in the first quarter but led only 29-26.
The Bulls still held a 43-42 edge with 3:07 left in the half but
Milwaukee ran off eight straight points, capped by Allen's
19-footer.

Milwaukee's lead was 73-61 with 10 seconds left in the third
quarter but Cory Carr made a pair of free throws to ignite a
13-2 run that got Chicago within 75-74 with just under eight
minutes left in the fourth. Despite tying the game twice and
getting within a point on five occasions, the Bulls never took
the lead down the stretch.

Brandon finished with 10 points and 14 assists.

"We have young superstars in Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson. Then
we have Dell Curry and Armon Gilliam to give us experience,"
Brandon said. "We're very fortunate to have a team like this."
